[Buy/Sell/Trade / WTB: Shining Force 3 & Silhouette Mirage!]

so, looking for just a few more things that have evaded me:

Shining Force 3 (US) - @$100
Silhouette Mirage (Saturn JP) - $40

hoping for them CIB + shipped, if they're a little rough but otherwise intact that's fine! I know you can sell them for more on ebay/etc but for what it's worth, i can guarantee you they'll have a happy home/be played and not resold!
Also looking for some Sega-CD pack-ins as well - thanks in advance here.

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: HuCard/TurboChip 3D Printed Cases - ORDERS CLOSED FOR 2015]

aw, so awesome to see this finally took off!  and it's probably a good thing orders are done for now, i've got to pay down holiday stuff & sort out how many i'd need, haha

[Off-Topic / Re: to friend and foe alike, and even the five post raffle noobs too :p]

Merry christmas everybody!  gonna play some Die Hard tonight

[Off-Topic / the "love for Keith Courage" thread]

..the user, though the game is neat too

seriously, finally got my doujindace RGB/region modded Duo-R working like it should, and i couldn't be happier.  just wanted to say thanks for everything man, also just so you know you get mad love/praise over at GAF too, haha. totally gonna dump some more homebrew stuff that was recommended here onto my roommate's turbo everdrive & get back onto Rondo of Blood soon!

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Turbo Everdrive! ...now what]

amazing...thanks so much for that!

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Turbo Everdrive! ...now what]

awesome!  great suggestions so far guys, keep em comin!

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Turbo Everdrive! ...now what]

while back, my roommmate got a Turbo Everdrive - any good homebrew/unfinished/etc stuff we should be loading up on this thing? 

i'd always wanted to play that Fantasy Zone/Harrier hybrid one, but i think that's a disc game.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Turbo Gouging on Ebay ( r.i.p. - gouging much )]

The most I ever paid was when Phantasy Star 4 came out at the local Electronics Boutique for $90. I had that game day one.

You probably couldn't have picked a better game to drop 90 bucks on at the time.  PS IV was incredible!  Imagine being one of the poor fools who picked up some lame N64 game for 90 bucks when it came out?  Superman 64 anyone? 

+1, i used a $100 EB gift certificate and barely had enough change to get the bus back home.  worse yet, it was my first genesis game with a cardboard box (and vajello art, ugh) and b&w manual!  still, one of my top 10 JRPG's to date, really can't complain looking back.

[Fighting Street / Re: Official PCEFX Magical Chase waiting list]

I'll offer nothing. Please put me on the list.

i will double what this man is offering

[Fighting Street / Re: Petition: Ban noobs from making threads about banning, banners, or Magical Chase]

double anal stays winnin'

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Keith Courage game box...]

^same!  looks like i missed this one

[Console Repair/Mod Center / Re: PCE Duo-R "please set disc"]

yeah, ive been feeling that way for a bit now - others seem to have better experiences with their unit from what ive read.  really wish i'dve pushed to swap it out when the problems first arose, he was helpful with sending tools & such but it's just not yet a reliable unit.

i believe he said the capacitors were changed out (a modder buddy i think verified this a while back?) but the issue of music dropping, is that often related to them or something else?

[Console Repair/Mod Center / Re: PCE Duo-R "please set disc"]

okay, an update to my doujindace RGB/region modded Duo-R woes:

1) a while back, we discovered it wouldn't read discs unless on a flat surface - anything slightly off and it gives the "please set disc" error or just keeps checking.  even with this, it can be temperamental on running them.
2) a few weeks ago i noticed effects (seen as soon as the system starts up) where the screen seems to jump a little bit, randomly too.  i moved the cable about & sometimes it goes away but again, seems random.  i'd ordered another RGB cable from retro_console_accessories but that one doesn't seem to work at all, in the process of exchanging it.
3) just tonight, when playing Rondo, i had audio going on during levels - just music, not sound effects (particularly a bummer for this masterpiece).

really thinking i should reach out to Keither Courage & get this thing looked at, just wanted to see if anyone else'd had similar issues...i know # 3 isn't uncommon, has anyone run into the first one though?  fuck, i love this thing but i still feel like doujin sent me a lemon.

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: WTB: Duo Arcade Card!]

ah, i should mention, my duo's region-free modded anyway!  ah well, guess ebay's the only option then.

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: FS: Entire US TurboGrafx 16 TurboChip library...minus 1 game...]

*phew* glad to see you posted this here as well, i was just gonna link to it if not! 
not sure if it'd work, but maybe some of you guys here could do a community pool to buy in & draft out the games?  i did just that on another forum for a massive dreamcast lot & everyone came out with nearly double what we put in for, it's awesome if you can make it work.

[General Gaming / Re: Best Sega genesis games]

agreed, it's a form of art.  i intend to do a helpful youtube tutorial one day on this very subject! 

[Off-Topic / The “What-Did-You-Buy-Today?” Thread]

Elevator Action + Alien Soldier = Awesome

this - amazing haul but these really stand out, love them both!

[General Gaming / Re: Best Sega genesis games]

...galam, are you coming on to me

[General Gaming / Re: Best Sega genesis games]

Then they would be perforated, Lanny Poffo.

thought this was known - they didn't do this because it'd take the joy out of a clean cut otherwise 

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: IC: SD2SNES Flash Cart Group Buy]

damn, i'm really gonna kick myself one day for not going in on all of these.

SD2SNES now displays gibberish at startup

hey all - i recently upgraded my SD card (for all the recent MSU1 stuff) to this right here
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B073JYC4XM/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_fabc_MqzTFbRR724YN?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

and it's been a mess since then, even went back to the old SD, tried rolling back the firmware, still getting the same result.  any ideas? here's pics of it plus the one menu i could get at

[General Gaming / Re: Sega Saturn]

What was left out was non-optimal redbook audio. So you're not missing much with the WD release

ah, that's not so bad then...what about the other releases on there, did they see more cuts?

[General Gaming / Re: PSN/3DS friend codes]

PSN: TheIrishNinja

3DS: 2062-9756-7502

i could use more residents for Bravely Default!

[Off-Topic / The “What-Did-You-Buy-Today?” Thread]

guys, the MGC hauls are amazing but ya'll don't need to quote them in their entirety every time

[General Gaming / Re: Best Sega genesis games]

^nice to see some 32x love on here!

just way too many dolts cut the hang tabs off them. 

Why, why why!

i'm gonna let youse guys in on a secret: hangtabs were meant to be cut
the game belongs to me now, not a hanging shelf in Phar-Mor from '92.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Will there ever be a TG16 price crash?]

This subject comes up once in a while. It's wishful thinking, it's stupid, and it ignores the lessons of history.

damn, i was a lot more optimistic before reading this post.

[Buy/Sell/Trade / WTB: Duo Arcade Card!]

Hey all, just wanted to see if you guys had any suggestions for places to find a fair price on an arcade card for my Duo-R?  i was gonna wait till later but with prices going up all over, though i'd check here for resources...was thinking of trying arcade-gears but i'd want to put in a larger order after paying some bills first!  anyway, thanks for any suggestions offered.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Turbo Gouging on Ebay ( r.i.p. - gouging much )]

^as a rule i don't fuck with dudes who do VGA or whatever sealed ratings for games, really not my scene

[General Gaming / Re: Hudson Selection Vol.3 PS2]

Wasn't aware of this line, but now i wanna track it down, thanks OP!  also that explains the high-res model of bonk i'd seen a while back, mystery solved.

[General Gaming / Re: Sega Saturn]

Outrun is one of my all-time favorites, i really should get the JP AGES release since i hear the WD domestic one left stuff out...but on a related note, Chase HQ is awesome! totally glad Game Sack put me onto that one.

[General Gaming / Re: Dragon force = confusing]

The engine's a bit confusing at first (im still getting the hang of it) but it really looks like something that comes together on replays as the story opens up too...just make sure you have a memory cart!

[General Gaming / Re: Dark Souls II]

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Turbo Gouging on Ebay ( r.i.p. - gouging much )]

still the meanest damn ending ive seen in a game though

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Turbo Gouging on Ebay ( r.i.p. - gouging much )]

^agreed, reason # 32 that i didn't love Phantasy Star III, as an aside

wait, i forget if CF2 had them, it's been so long

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Keith Courage game box...]

 :lol:Hailing, i've been meaning to ask - what's going on in your sig there?

[General Gaming / Re: Best Sega genesis games]

damn, professorprofessorson was pretty thorough, i just wanna emphasize my unying love for Strider, Rolling Thunder 2, Zombies Ate My Neighbors, MUSHA, and Wonder Boy in Monster World.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: White PC Engine should be white]

fantastic work here in the OP!  if my Duo-R ever starts to yellow out, would the process be about the same?

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Keith Courage game box...]

awesome, count me in for one! gonna hit up Mzo & Bishopcruz soon to see if they wanna pool together & save on shipping.

[General Gaming / Re: Uh, who likes the N64?]

Yes, but A Black Falcon hasn't commented yet. He did make this thread though...reviews of 145 N64 games.

http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=473262

haha that thread is insane!  thorough though. 
still amazed he hasn't commented, must not have seen this thread yet - he takes heat over at sega-16 for his N64 love, heh.
ive got about 25 games for mine, there's maybe 5-10 more i'd dig but that's about it for me.

[Off-Topic / Re: Game Sack]

the PSX one was great, now i wanna track down Ghost in the Shell.  also with a friend breaking into YT video stuff & editing, i gotta say, Joe's experience really shines with the production quality of these (ever since quite early on), really well done overall.

[General Gaming / Re: Is the Sega Saturn Worth it?]

i just picked up Chase HQ a few weeks back for $30, between that & Elevator Action Returns i'm happy like a clam!  such an amazing arcade box, even before you get into all the awesome SHMUPs & fighters.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Who's still playing their Wii?]

man, i'm still buying games for my wii - just found Pandora's Tower new for $20 at a nearby gamestop, and Ultimate Shooting Collection is awesome as well, thought most of what i play there is Radirgy.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: PC Engine Bookmarks]

just wanted to again thank sunteam paul for that link & the awesome collection i bought from it, as well as the bookmarks!  trying to spread the love on a few forums as well.

[Off-Topic / The “What-Did-You-Buy-Today?” Thread]

some awesome books showed up this last week or so, just yesterday i got vol 1 of PC Engine Gamer & was really impressed with the quality - free bookmarks were awesome too! 

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Any interest in new replacement HUcard cases?]

man i keep checking back on this thread hoping for updates - ive got my orphan hucards in sleeves awkwardly in DVD cases, shit's killing me haha. i was this close to just buying sparkies and making CD jewels work!

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: New Guy Raffle: 100 posts and under... WINNER!]

late on this, but wanted to say congrats Ghudda!

[Off-Topic / The “What-Did-You-Buy-Today?” Thread]

late on this, but love to Galam for the first two & Mzo for R-type, perfect time for my Duo-R to start acting right!

*edit crap sorry for the massive pic

[Console Repair/Mod Center / Re: REPAIR GUIDE - TurboDuo/PC Engine Duo/R/RX: Laser Swap & Adjustment Guide]

The discs I burned worked great on Irish Ninja's DUO-R once we got it working.

well, that's not true at all, is it?  why, i went to boot up my 3-in-1 and Grand Master Meio killed me good. 

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Could DAIMAKAIMURA aka GHOULS 'N' GHOSTS converted to a PCE CD Rom ?]

ah, is it?  i saw it run like booty and never played the SNES one...huh. 
and yeah that venn diagram could get a lotta mileage in a lotta forums, haha.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: What Turbo game are you currently playing?]

while only the hucard part of my Duo-R was working, i was mostly messing with Bloody Wolf (and a new copy of R-Type, thanks Mzo!), now that the disc is working is Akumajo time!
